Good morning. I am spanish and I have a doubt. I will travel from Mexico D.F to Madrid with scale in JFK. I'll be arrived around 4:15pm to the terminal 1 and I need to go the terminal 3 because my second flight will departure around 7:40pm. I'll be in transit. What do I have to do?. Is it necessary to catch my baggage in the terminal 1 or the airline entemprisse will give my baggage to the terminal 3?. And will I have time for this connecting flight?. Thanks for your help.

Hi my boyfriend and are are traveling on the same day around the same time however, my departing flight is with JetBlue (terminal 5) and his is US Airways (terminal 7). We are both going to get out at terminal 5 but he will still need to go to terminal 7 to catch his flight. How can he do that? Thank you

Hi,

My parents are stuck in traffic in Lincoln tunnel and they have flight from lufthansa from terminal 1 at 5: 40 pm, My parents are going for really urgent work, and they must take this flight. Is there a way to tell the lufthansa counter at terminal 1 if they could allow my parents to check in. My parents will reach there before 5:40 pm but airlines usually close check in before. My parents do not have any luggage to check in. Is there any way that my parents don't miss this flight. Can somebody help me with this. The ticket is non-refundable.

I'll be grateful.

Thanks.

Does the AirTrain run 24 hours? If so, how often does it arrive at JFK to take people to the long-term parking area?

Every 10 to 15 minutes.

Are the trains from Jamaica to Penn running on a regular schedule? Is the airtrain running on a regular schedule?

I will have a transfer between T5 and T3.
Which air train track should be taken to reach T5 from T3 ? And how many minutes ?

What is the flooding status of the JFK long-term parking lot at Lefferts Blvd due to hurricane Sandy? Since the runways are flooded, are the parking lots flooded also? If so, with how many feet of water? Are the cars still in place or have they been moved and been damaged because of the flooding?

Was the long term parking lot flooded? Wondering if I'm coming back to a damaged car
